“The pandemic has pushed us towards one of the worst recessions in modern times, which is having a devastating effect on the most vulnerable countries and peoples. The progress we have made together over recent decades on your top priorities – eradicating poverty and hunger, increasing opportunities for all, and reducing inequalities within and between countries – that progress is being eroded in a matter of months.”

“Within this crisis lies an opportunity – a chance to embark on a path to revive economies, ensure gender equality, protect our planet and achieve the SDGs by 2030. A path that ensures universal access to social protection, health care, quality education and digital connectivity. A path towards a rapid and just transition to low-carbon, climate-resilient economies that generate investment, growth and employment. A path that nurtures social cohesion, advances human rights and builds peace.”

“This has not been a good year for multilateralism and international cooperation. So far, the world has not seen the unity and solidarity needed to tackle the pandemic, beat the climate crisis, end the weakening of nuclear safeguards, and strengthen cooperation around digital technology. I hope 2020 will be the year in which we reverse these trends and the year we are able to forge a global alliance for carbon neutrality.”

“In addition to the tragic loss of life and economic devastation, our global development trajectory has seemingly been highjacked. The Decade of Action setback before it has truly begun. However, it does not have to be the case. Quite the opposite, in fact. With trillions of dollars expected to be spent on the largest socio-economic recovery since the World War II, recovery from COVID-19 has the potential to jumpstart the Sustainable Development Goals.”
